i??? Is it one with the CR2032 battery??
If "yes" .....the battery holder positive has 2 small "finger" clips that either one or both have a habit of getting caught under the battery, as a new battery is inserted.?? This shorts the battery positive to negative.? The result......your battery drains rapidly.? Seen this before, more than once.
Other than that there could be a bad SRAM IC (U9) or RTC IC (U2).? If this is true then one of them will be getting quite warm to finger touch.?
The battery can be fixed by bending the contact back up but might be best to send it to have the battery holder replaced.?? If its not the battery holder and is anything else.....needs to be sent for repair and a firmware update.? SRAM ICs are a known issue in failing easy enough to replace.?
Repairers for G1s are Michael Herman (USA), David Partridge (UK) and my self (Australia), contactable in this forum.? If you send it for a battery holder replacement ensure you tell the repairer so they have one waiting for replacement.
Cheers get back if you need any further help.?? All G1s are quite repairable.
